Bread maker recommendations please

I think it has!
I have been very happy with my Panasonic.

Very happy with the current husband who does artisan sourdough. ?

But to answer your question I had one from Lakeland some years ago, again a Panasonic. I found that adding oil to the ingredients prevented the crust you describe

Another vote for Panasonic here. Like Izabella, I use 2 tbs of olive or sunflower oil instead of 25g of butter to get a s!lightly softer crust.

Panasonic here. I use just a small amount of oil rather than butter.

Thanks. Your best buys match the which reports so I guess it's Panasonic!

Like Maw we have. Panasonic . Makes a great variety of loaves. Also cake, but I haven't used that facility.

Purchased. Thank you everyone.

You are very welcome. Enjoy your lovely fresh bread

I use half white and half wholemeal using white recipe. Very tasty. I prefer to prepare dough then bake in the oven.

I am just about to research mixers as nine burnt out today. I would love a big Kenwood but they are just too big. Any ideas.

I had a Panasonic some years ago, but in the end I gave it away because to be honest I hated the shape of the loaf it made, just a square brick shaped thing, and I hated the flipping hole left in the bottom of it from the dough hook!
By the way, the trick I always used to keep the crust soft was to brush the entire surface of the loaf with milk immediately it comes out of the pan. Never failed!

My Panasonic doesn't leave a hole in the loaf , and it is more rectangular than square , maybe you needed a spoon more fluid ?

Actually, come to think of it, it wasn't a Panasonic, but a Morphy Richards. Surely, though, they're basically the same - a bread pan with a dough hook in the bottom which mixes the dough, then leaves it to prove before cooking? How, then, can you remove the bread from the pan - from the dough hook - without it leaving a hole?

.There is a 2501 version which has a little contraction for adding extra ingredients if you are making eg panatone or olive bread.,

I use mine all the time.

Oh just saw that you’ve bought one!

I can assure you it doesn't leave a hole , there is a slight sort of cut in the bottom where the slim paddle slides out . You have just explained why the bread wasn't great .... wrong make , I have tried that make and it was just ok , but the Panasonic is tip top

Ah, thanks aggie. If I had the room, I might well consider buying a Panasonic, but I really don't! Oh well, never mind.

I am not sure if I am posting this in the appropriate place.

I am looking for recipes using corn that anyone has to share.

Thanks
